- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro approx 1/2 a bunch
- 1/2 lime juiced

Instructions
- Add the onion, garlic and jalapeno to the food processor first. These ingredients will be chopped finer if they're on the bottom.
- Then add the drained tomatoes, green chilies (no need to drain), cilantro, lime juice and salt.
- Pulse in one second increments. Keep pulsing until the salsa is well-blended, but still a little chunky.
- Season to taste with additional salt, or lime juice, if needed.
- Serve the salsa immediately or store it for later.
